This is the 2nd year that our family had the privilege of celebrating Thanksgiving at home. I look forward to sitting around the table with whoever can join us. This year, we had Aunt Mandy and Uncle John and Uncle Bobbo. We have a few traditions this time of year, one of them writing down what we are thankful "4"! I like to go beyond the usuals and get specific. Being thankful is a practice. I know being thankful makes a difference in how much joy you experience. My hope is that I will continue to practice this discipline not just at Thanksgiving but everyday through the triumphs AND trials. The triumphs are easy but the trials are for me a great opportunity for growth in practicing thanksgiving.
The girls wanted to put on their best dresses for our special dinner.
We considered making her a onesie that said, "I ate the whole turkey!" Little Gracie is certainly roly poly.

Another tradition is snowshoeing in the mountains and finding the perfect Charlie Brown Christmas tree. The hike gets shorter and shorter every year as our family grows and we have to carry children part of/all the way Thankfully, we had plenty of help again this year!
